operation. As with many other components, the battery will lose
capacity over time. Frequent partial discharging and re-charging
accelerates this process. By observing a few “golden rules” you
can considerably influence the life span of the battery:
6.2.1 Charging procedure
To maintain the battery’s full capacity, the battery should always
be discharged as completely as possible before being recharged
again.
The instrument is designed so that the battery will immediately
recharge when it is connected to the power adaptor.
To conserve the battery capacity, from time to time leave the
instrument in battery operation mode until it is almost fully
discharged.

6.2.2 Charging time
The battery charging time depends on the charge remaining and
can be fully charged in 9 hours.
If you recharge it overnight, the battery will be fully charged and
ready for use.
After recharging, it is not necessary to disconnect the photometer
from the electrical connection. Overcharging the battery is
impossible.
